Dane here. Disclaimer: I can't say I really know much about this, but here is a bit of background info:
STAR is acronym for Styrelsen for Arbejdsmarked og Rekrutering (English: Agency for Labor Market and Recruitment).
They have a note describing the system (in Danish) at [1]. I copy/pasted a few relevant sections to Google Translate at [2].
TL;DR: Algorithm is a decision tree based on questionnaires and outcomes of about 152000 cases. The note states a precision of 70% and a recall of 32%. There is no mention of a split between modelling and test data.
